I agree as well. I shoot normal to wide and don't need the improved support of a centered eyepiece design. I value small. While the larger evf is high on my list of wants, the implementation of the control set is a turn-off (locking knobs, too much on the body).

I think it will sell well and I think buyers will certainly get their money's worth. But I'll wait to see what an xp1 successor brings. When it comes to taking pictures, my xe1 gets the job done just fine.
